Looking for recommendations on how to post all my photos online.

I already have a ftp site to upload photos. In the past, I would just email the url for the individual .jpg. But now, I have about 100 photos I want to display. I want to display them in thumbnails and using easy navigation for the user.

How should I go about doing this? I already have all photos uplaoded to 1 directory.

Ive come across 'AlbumWeb' by photoactions. Should I bother using this tool to do this?

Im looking for a fast and easy tool.

I have not reviewed this kind of app for a long time thus i can't give you a name of a good one, but if your webserver supports php you will find a lot of scripts easy to setup below (scroll down after the "sponsored" entries):

edit:
phpalbum looks fine and no database is required.
cf. http://www.phpalbum.net/

You could try Picasa it's a freeware program from google. It automatically generates thumbnails. And there is a export feature that allows you to create an online photoalbum by just a few mouseclicks.

Easy to use. And easy to upload new pictures to an existing album.

Good stuff! Thanks...
So, is it better if I host it on my own server- or use something like google? Both options seem really easy and exactly what I want to do. I am very familiar with 'flashfxp' hahah..So, It wouldnt be a prob for me using phpalbum.

Picasa works great! Albums easy to create, thumbnails, can even order prints. PHPalbum would not connect to my ftp server.

Thanks for your help!
